If you’re a bookworm, chances are you have a bookshelf at home that houses some of your favorite reads. And while bookshelves being stocked with books is great (obviously), we just discovered these beautifully detailed bookshelf inserts, or dioramas, that we can’t get enough of! Japanese designer Monde debuted a series of inserts, inspired by Tokyo’s wandering back alleys, at the 2018 Design Festa. Monde made wooden book inserts that conveyed the feeling of being lost in the beauty, architecture, and culture of Tokyo. Since then, other craftsmen and craftswomen have designed their own inserts, including an enchanting Harry Potter-inspired scene, a garden-inspired scene, and more. They’re all so beautiful and intricately detailed that we could stare at them for hours. Keep reading to shop them now, but don’t mind us if we buy one of each!
